Panthers tight end Darren Waller shines in Week 4 waiver wire pickups
Summary

Darren Waller led the Carolina Panthers' tight ends in their recent loss to the Cleveland Browns, making five catches for 51 yards. His performance marked the highest volume of snaps, targets, and receiving yards since joining the Panthers. With injuries to key receivers Jalen Coker and Xavier Legette, Waller is expected to take on a more significant role in the upcoming matchup against the Detroit Lions, who have struggled against tight ends this season. Waller's inclusion on waiver wire lists reflects his potential for increased production in the weeks ahead.
